Question by Neil G: Why do Protestants believe that God was referring to Gentile”s in Acts10?
But didn’t Jesus cleanse all animals in Peter’s vision, as recorded in Acts 10? (Acts 10:13 )

I copied and paste this from this Protestant site.
No! In fact, the subject of this vision is not animals, but people. God gave Peter this vision to show him that the Gentiles were not unclean, as the Jews believed. God had instructed Cornelius, a Gentile, to send men to visit Peter. But Peter would have refused to see them if God had not given him this vision, because Jewish law forbade entertaining Gentiles (verse 28). But when the men finally did arrive, Peter welcomed them, explaining that ordinarily he would not have done so, but “God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.” Verse 28. In the next chapter (Acts 11), the church members criticized Peter for speaking with these Gentiles. So Peter told them the whole story of his vision and its meaning. And Acts 11:18 says, “When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.” from http://www.amazingfacts.org/FreeStuff/BibleStudies/StudyGuides/tabid/105/ctl/ViewMedia/mid/453/IID/2-13/LNG/en/SC/R/Default.aspx?7=God%27s-Free-Health-Plan

But the verse says Acts 10: 9-16
9About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. 10He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. 11He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles of the earth and birds of the air. 13Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”

14“Surely not, Lord!” Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”

15The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”

16This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.

So Peter wanted to eat humans now omg. I cant believe this so The apostles where eating people, come on man, this is bs what the heck are they tyring to make a fool out of people mark7:19 For it doesn’t go into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods “clean.”) What is your opinion on this
and acts 10:13 says get up and kill wow i cant believe this site is load.

You may be misunderstanding the text.
There would have been recipes somewhere for the appropriate way to cook them.
The religion would have died out due to mad genital disease. You know people get the shakes and all if they eat human flesh.
I think you might try a different commentary.
